These additional basic services will be funded by the park's recreation fee revenue as outlined in the recent statement by National Park Service Deputy Director, P. Daniel Smith. While basic visitor services have been restored, other services and facilities, including visitor centers, remain closed.

The park will continue to provide services that have been in effect since the shutdown began:

The road from the park’s North Entrance at Gardiner, Mont., through Mammoth Hot Springs to the Northeast Entrance at Cooke City, Mont., is open to wheeled vehicle travel. Visitors can access all the commercial services along this route.

Visitors can access commercial services in the interior of the park via oversnow travel, such as Old Faithful.

Guided snowmobile and snowcoach trips with commercial operators are allowed. Previously permitted non-commercially guided snowmobile trips are also allowed. New permits are not being issued.

Park staff are providing emergency services and law enforcement. All park regulations, including those regarding oversnow travel, remain in effect.

The park wants to thank the partners and local community groups who have performed services such as collecting trash and cleaning bathrooms since Dec. 22. It also thanks the concessionaires, especially Xanterra Travel Collection, who have made donations enabling National Park Service staff to groom roads and allow oversnow access to continue.

If conditions become unsafe at any time, roads and/or developed areas in the park may be closed.
